About Me

I'm a 64-year old father of three and grandfather of six with opinions on nearly everything. I believe in courtesy, common sense, and fair play. I love ballroom dancing, reading, gourmet cooking, and travel. While I'm opinionated, I'm not close-minded, and I welcome your constructive comments on my blog. My motto: "I have seen the truth, and it makes no sense."

I Need to Work On My Image

Yesterday craziequeen posted a "friendship report card" to my Facebook page, on which I received a grade of "C+", with the comment, "Works too slowly."

Clearly, I have to work on my image.

But that will take a while, and since I work too slowly, you may want to check back in a few years to see how it worked out.

In the meantime, let's talk about other random stuff, shall we?

Mike continues to beat the still-twitching dead horse of my "Ask Bilbo" challenge with this question:

Q:"If AAA is changing to AA+ will their phone number change by one digit too?"

A: Forget the phone number. My sources tell me that there will be a further downgrade of the US credit rating. The first downgrade was from AAA to AA+. The next one will be from AA+ to AAARRRGGGHHH!!

Speaking of downgraded credit ratings, my son-in-law Vin sent me a link to a hysterical You Tube video in which "Felonius Munk" encourages the government to pay its bills. Because the language is more than a little salty, I won't embed it here, but if you're interested, e-mail me or post a comment and I'll send you the link. I'd send it to my elected reprehensives, but I think it would go over their heads.
